Patagonia from the Valley A well-executed original pastel on textured paper of a mountain scene with two figures featuring Latin American village and farming scenes. Provenance suggests South American origin - Argentina, Peru, Brazil, potentially. Perhaps a treasure acquired on holiday that was carefully brought home. Artist signed in lower right. Presented in an original mat and a plastic shield - but unframed. 18" x14" in the mat - image itself is approx. 8" x 10". Purple heather, lavender yellow gold, pops of orange and red, waves of soft green and blue - very nicely done. In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item... This is a lovely piece - which caught our eyes for three reasons - splendid use of color, nice perspective, and a sweet primitive quality. The fact it is artist signed, created on high-quality textured paper, and still unframed. makes it a very. ice opportunity to "finish it" your way for the very first time. You will not be sorry!
